The Internet

How will Logos work in third world countries where there is limited or no internet access?

Logos can be operated offline quite well and it is best to use its offline mode rather than changing Settings or switching off your connection.For Windows, hold down CTRL key while starting Logos. For Mac, launch Logos, then quickly press and hold the Command key until the login screen appears. Then select “Work Offline”.

Note that “Use Internet” = YES is ignored in offline mode, so keep that value in Tools > Program Settings.

When you want to receive updates, start Logos normally to revert to online mode. If you have to go to another place and pay for internet access, know what it is going to cost you beforehand.
